Miss PCA is the twenty-third episode in Season 3 and the 48th overall episode in the Nickelodeon TV series, Zoey 101. The episode aired on December 2, 2007.

Plot

Logan hosts a new “Miss PCA” beauty pageant. Although Zoey, Lola, and Chase initially find the event degrading, Zoey and Lola decide to enter after learning that the winner will appear on the cover of Buzz magazine. As the competition heats up, Zoey and Lola become increasingly competitive and begin sabotaging each other. Meanwhile, Michael desperately tries to make Quinn laugh at his jokes.

Trivia

• Paul Butcher (Dustin Brooks) did not appear in this episode, although he was mentioned by Zoey when she and Lola were teasing Chase about his tighty-whities.
  • This is the only episode where Dustin doesn't appear in but is still mentioned.
• This episode marks the only time Zoey and Lola fight.
• The popcorn Chase is cooking is Boy Scout popcorn.
• If you look closely enough, you'll see that Zoey was right: Lola's wrap really did fall into the mud on its own.
• The first question Chase asks Zoey is very similar to Carly and Sam's response to a pageant question in iCarly.
• PCA is apparently a private school, because Lola mentions that students' families have to pay for tuition to be able to attend the school—also according to Lola, while tuition at PCA is kind of expensive, it's not as expensive as the average college tuition.

Goofs

• Logan hosts the Miss PCA beauty pageant to get into college. However, Zoey said in Silver Hammer Society that the Silver Hammer Society (the club) can get you into a good college and Logan becomes a member in the end of the episode. It could be possible that like the rest of the gang was he was fed up with the club and left it.
• Quinn says if an atom loses a proton, it turns out negative. This is incorrect. If an atom loses a proton, it ends up being a new atom. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, but if an atom gains an electron, however, only then would it end up being negative.
